Queen of the Tidelands: Making a Fortune with My Scholar Son-in-Law

[Clearheaded beachcombing mogul × delusional, possessive, unhinged live-in son-in-law] Xu Mingyi, the modern-day queen of beachcombing, takes a fall and wakes up as a spoiled young lady in an ancient fishing village. The moment she opens her eyes, she’s on the brink of getting her whole family killed. Lin Shuhe, the live-in son-in-law her family has been cruelly mistreating, is destined to top the imperial exams. Once he gains power, he’ll make the Xu family pay in blood! Xu Mingyi cuts her losses at once, stops treating him badly, and fully funds his studies. Then she heads straight to the tidal flats to make money. From seaweed cakes and nori to fish balls and oyster sauce, she takes her roadside business and turns it into a large-scale seafood processing factory. She opens up trade routes and sells her goods throughout the inland provinces, turning unwanted seafood into a highly profitable business. She thinks of Lin Shuhe as a sure-fire investment in the imperial exams. Little does she know, this long-suffering, unhinged man will fight his way to success in the exams with only one thing on his mind: marrying her. When she turns him down, he frantically imagines she’s going to run away, then drugs her and forces her to take responsibility! Xu Mingyi: “What? I’m investing in you, not signing up for a lifetime of after-sales service!”
